The Careers in Research Online Survey (CROS) is aimed at gathering anonymous data about working conditions, career aspirations and career development opportunities for research staff. CROS reflect the principles of the Concordat for the Career Development of Researchers. CROS is managed and supported by Vitae.
The University of Wolverhampton will be taking part in CROS 2017.
The survey launches on Tuesday 21st March 2017 and ends on Wednesday 31st May 2017.
We're keen to make sure research staff have the best possible experience while working at the University of Wolverhampton. To do that we need to know what you think we are doing well and what we can do better. If you're thinking about taking part this year, these are the answers to some of the questions research staff often ask:
CROS is using the definition contained in the Concordat for the Career Development of Researchers:
'Researchers are broadly defined as individuals whose primary responsibility is to conduct research and who are employed for this purpose. It is recognised that this broad category of staffing covers a wide range of staff with different disciplinary backgrounds, levels of training, experience and responsibility, types of contract (fixed or open ended, full or part time), and different career expectations and intentions.'
The survey is carried out by the Doctoral College and the questionnaire hosted online by Bristol Online Survey (BOS platform, which provides a secure web environment for the design, delivery, administration and analysis of online surveys.).
All research staff will receive an email from BOS on 21st March 2017 with an invitation to complete the survey. When you receive the email from BOS simply follow the instructions, click on your own personal link and complete the online form.
If you do not complete the survey within the first couple of weeks you will receive up to 4 further reminders from BOS, until the survey closes. Once you have completed the survey, your participation is recorded and the reminders from BOS stop.
The survey is very simple to answer and will take about 20 minutes of your time
Your feedback is important. CROS provides a valuable source of information for the University of Wolverhampton. In particular it:
The survey questions are broken down into the following areas:
The individual responses are confidential to the Doctoral College and only anonymous aggregate data will be supplied to Faculties so no-one will be able to identify you from any results. The survey asks that any comments you make should not identify yourself or any specific members of staff.
The details entered into BOS to allow personalised emails and recording of participation do not link back to your survey responses and are only used by the software to ensure that reminders are not sent to individuals who have already completed the survey.
Your feedback is important. Over 70 universities and colleges take part in CROS. This means we can compare your experience against research staff at other institutions to see if we are supporting your career development as we should.
The results of institutions aggregated together are published by Vitae. Please see the Vitae website for the CROS 2015 UK aggregate results
Institutions own their results and can decide whether to make them public. Detailed results will be made available to Faculties by the Doctoral College.
For more information please contact Jill Morgan, Doctoral College on 01902 518769 or by email: email@example.com

Universal supercomputer to solve every problem moves a step closer
Image credit: University of Sussex
A universal quantum computer 100,000 times faster than current state-of-the-art technology that could solve some of the most complex problems facing mankind is slowly taking shape as an international team of scientists publishes an innovative blueprint.
The supercomputer, akin to the Deep Thought machine featured in the famous 'Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy', would connect individual quantum computing modules through an electric field, enabling data processing at an unprecedented speed. Previously, scientists expected charged atoms in quantum computers to travel through fibre-optic links.
"For many years, people said that it was completely impossible to construct an actual quantum computer," said Professor Winfried Hensinger, head of the Ion Quantum Technology Group at the University of Sussex, who works on the project.
"With our work we have not only shown that it can be done but now we are delivering a nuts-and-bolts construction plan to build an actual large-scale machine."
The machine would take up a whole building, consisting of complex vacuum technology with integrated quantum computing silicon microchips containing the charged atoms within electric fields.
The computer would be more powerful than any computing machine ever built on Earth. It would be able to perform enormously complex calculations in a fraction of the time needed by other computers.
It would give a massive boost to all sorts of areas of science including pharmaceutical research and the question of the origins of the Universe and life.
"The availability of a universal quantum computer may have a fundamental impact on society as a whole," Professor Hensinger said. "Without doubt it is still challenging to build a large-scale machine, but now is the time to translate academic excellence into actual application building on the UK's strengths in this ground-breaking technology."
An early proof-of-concept prototype could be up and running in as little as two years at Sussex University, with the support of the government.
"It was most important to us to highlight the substantial technical challenges as well as to provide practical engineering solutions," said Bjoern Lekitsch, lead author of the paper describing the technology, which has been published in the journal Science Advances.
The Sussex team cooperated on the project with teams from Google, Aarhus University in Denmark, Japanese research institute RIKEN and Germany's Siegen University.
Previously, the Sussex University researchers developed technology that would allow replacement of complex laser equipment required for quantum computing operations with the simple application of voltages to a microchip.
The researchers are confident that once up and running, the machine would be far more useful than the fictional Deep Thought, whose only answer to "the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything" was "42".
The ability of particles to be in multiple quantum states at the same time is behind the promising ability of supercomputers to perform calculations at unprecedented speeds.
While a classical computer has 'bits' made up of zeros and ones, a quantum computer has 'qubits' that can take on the value of zero or one or both simultaneously.

It has been reported that Michael Carrick hasn't trained for the past few days due to illness, meaning United could be playing Sunderland with a squad down to the bare bones, again.
Carrick has been our most important player this season so his absence could be costly. Tom Cleverley has barely played this season because of injury but after a few substitute appearances recently may get called back in to the starting XI. Anderson and Darren Fletcher are obviously unavailable, which would mean we had a choice of Giggs, Scholes and even Park to play in the centre of the park.
However, Carrick was seen arriving and leaving Carrington yesterday, so maybe there is some hope for him.
With Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans injured, we are going to be struggling to put a back four together. Rio Ferdinand was substituted off with injury last weekend against Swansea, which could make the situation even worse. The best case scenario would be Rafael, Jones, Rio and Evra as our back four.
Up front, Danny Welbeck is still carrying the injury from the City game, meaning Rooney is likely to start up front with Chicharito.
This obviously isn't the ideal preparation to the biggest game of the season. If you look at the injury table Manchester United are at the top with 10 injuries whilst Manchester City are at the bottom with 0. This has been the case all season.
Roll on tomorrow…
The RoM 2018-19 Season Preview is available for just £6. It includes an EXCLUSIVE interview with Juan Mata, a Q&A with the country's top journalists, articles by brilliant United writers, and so much more. All profit goes to Trafford Macmillan so please support this fantastic cause.

"This is for something say to my sister. I am her side!"
— Mira
Mira (ティラ, Tira) is a fictional character in the Soul series of fighting games, a loyal servant of the evil sword, Soul Edge. She is referred to as the The Misguided Angel of Death during her debut appearance in the official E3 teaser trailer for Soulcalibur III, her first game. She has thus far appeared in all the following games: Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny and Soulcalibur V.
Tira fights with a unique type of weapon reminiscent of a bladed hula hoop, appropriately called a Ring Blade.
She can effortlessly swing this blade using her wrists, feet, and body, similar to that of dancing. Her battle style relies on acrobatics, speed, and flexibility.

Title of Bulletin Board: Fitness Testing: What Muscle Are You Working?
Category: Fitness Assessments
Suggested Grade Level: 3-6
Materials: Body outline, pictures of fitness tests, construction paper, fitness record board
During fitness testing, this bulletin board is displayed in the hall. This person outline was created with the help of the art teacher. It was an actual body outline. Added to this was each fitness test, what type of exercise it is [muscular endurance, flexibility, muscular strength], and which muscles it exercises/strengthens [triceps, biceps, quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, abdominals]. This allows students to apply their knowledge of their muscles and identify which exercises will strengthen which muscles.

As LSU played Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night, drama played out off the field, as multiple reports surfaced that the school was closing in on Houston coach Tom Herman as its next head coach.
ESPN reported that the school has zeroed in on Herman, and that he could be named as soon as Saturday. This, after a report from USA Today that the sides met in Houston on Thursday.
Immediately following the reports, LSU released a statement denying any decisions were being made with their coaching search:
Despite the statement, the news came at a shocking time, both as LSU was in the middle of a game against Texas A&M, and also because it casts a murky shadow over the Texas head coaching job. Herman was long thought to be the top candidate in Austin, if and when Charlie Strong was fired — and some conflicting reports Thursday said Herman remains in play there. The Longhorns face TCU on Friday (FS1, 3:30 p.m.) with Strong still at the helm … for now.
On top of that, the Houston Chronicle is reporting that Houston has offered Herman a big raise to stay with the Cougars.
The LSU job opened in late September, following the Tigers' last-second loss to Auburn, which dropped LSU to 2-2 and cost Les Miles his job. Most believed the next coach would ultimately be either Herman or Florida State's Jimbo Fisher, with interim head coach Ed Orgeron emerging as a candidate in recent weeks. However, with a loss last week to Florida, it seemed to end Orgeron's candidacy for the job.
If the Tigers do land Herman, they are getting one of the bright young coaches in the entire sport of football. Herman is 22-3 overall since getting the Houston head coaching job at the beginning of last season, leading the Cougars to upset victories over Florida State in last year's Peach Bowl, followed by wins over Top 10 teams Oklahoma and Louisville this year. He was the offensive coordinator during Ohio State's national championship run in 2014.
If Herman goes to LSU, it would leave Texas in a precarious situation. Herman was believed to be the Longhorns' key target, if they fired Strong. But with the decision to not evaluate Strong until after the game with TCU, it has opened the door for LSU to get a deal done.

text: The Goal was founded to reclaim and provide children and youth with alternative activities to meet their developmental needs. Eldorado Park's children, like many other communities are threatened by a diverse social ills and innovative solutions are required to create safe spaces for children and youth. The Goal believed that through football social transformation is a possibility. The Goal started out by implementing the Grassrootsoccer life skills and informal small sided football games and reached thousands of learners through our school partnership programme. The team soon realized that we needed to redefine our priorities and structure our programmes to meet the challenges our children and youth were facing. Children in most communities are vulnerable after school and that block of time became a focus and our flagship after school programme emerged through this reality.

so says Dr. Rosenfeld. Of course, he's talking about making healthy choices in your life, but hey, if it works for health, why not for blogging.
I just returned from the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Schaumburg IL. I worked for my friend Londa @ Londa's Creative Sewing. We had a wonderful time! I love spending time not only with my friend, but all the people you meet and befriend at shows like this. The added bonus for this trip was I stayed with my daughter and son-in-law and four absolutely awesome grandchildren! I was very happy to share when my favorite youngest granddaughter preferred curling up on Londa's lap rather than mine. Londa doesn't have a granddaughter (just a very handsome grandson) so she reveled in all the little girl love.
I found the most awesome brand new vendor at the Expo, Textile Lifestyle. This is a brand new, family-owned business focusing on gift items for all kinds of fiber artists. They have coffee mugs, mouse pads, note pads, note cards, magnets--all kinds of cool gift items to give, or, better yet, buy for yourself! The thing that makes these items so great is the images they use. They are beautiful full color, professionally photographed images from different fiber artist venues, knitting, yarn, sewing, quilting, etc. Take a look. You will fall in love with these items just like I did. I picked up the mouse pad, note cards and a magnet at the show. And I just placed an order for some other things at their website.
I haven't been slacking during the past month. I have been busy knitting and sewing Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I can't reveal them here since some of the gift recipients read this blog. (Thank you, dear children!) I have almost all the gifts completed so I can get back to knitting and sewing for me! (You know, one of my very favorite songs is by Toby Keith, "I Wanna Talk About Me".)

Oh, what a burden it can be to lead a charmed life.
A New York law student decided his life was just too darned easy, so to challenge himself, he voluntarily spent half a year living on the street, according to Gawker.
The student, who is going by the name "David" to protect his identity until he has secured a job, told the Observer, a Yeshiva University newspaper, that he wanted to make his "survival more difficult." He had an internship for his dream job, a great apartment and he didn't have any romantic or financial problems.
Yet he said his life felt "meaningless."
"People that [sic]are experiencing serious things in their lives like a disease or financial problems or things like that, people will say, 'How could you be so ridiculous, how could you say not having any problems is a problem?' But the fact of the matter is, is that my life, it's really easy," he said in an interview, with the headline "Homeless By Choice."
Unlike the truly downtrodden who have no such option, David said he decided to move back into his old apartment last month because he didn't think he could withstand freezing temperatures over the winter.
As Gawker points out, his account of living on the streets seems to simply reveal how he maintained an outwardly bourgeois lifestyle without an apartment to go home to every day. To do so, he relied on his membership with the New York Health and Racquet Club, where he shaved and showered and kept four lockers for his gear, such as dress clothes and workout clothes.
He noted that if only the average homeless person spent $30 to $40 a month on a gym membership, they'd be able to do the same and perhaps increase their job opportunities. "I'm just surprised that people don't do this more often," he said. (This may remind Hot Button followers of another controversial bit of advice.)
He also revealed that he napped at his school, which stays open til midnight, to minimize his time outdoors in the elements.
Since his aim wasn't to actually try to get to know homeless individuals, he steered clear of them because he was afraid they might get upset with his challenge or try to rob him.
"I just stay as far away as I can. I don't want to take their spots; I don't want to mess with them. It really kind of scares me, to be honest, as bad as that sounds," he told The Observer.
A tasteless experiment? Or an earnest challenge to find meaning in life?Report Typo/Error

The timely arrival of Christopher Gorham ("Covert Affairs") as a man going door to door to spread his faith delayed the inevitable revelation that Melanie had slept with the man who left Joy at the altar on "Hot in Cleveland" (Wed., 10 p.m. EST on TV Land). In Melanie's defense, neither she nor K.C. realized that they both knew Joy at the time. In fact, that didn't come to light until K.C. came to see Melanie at the vacation home they were staying in while their place was being fumigated.
Unfortunately, the impromptu vacation was rendered pointless when the venomous, paralyzing spider they were trying to get rid of hitched a ride with them. It was while Victoria was on top of K.C., with both of them paralzyed, that the truth came out.
Gorham was just trying to spread his faith, arriving just as Joy was shocked to see K.C. And so Melanie pretended she'd arranged to have K.C. come to see Joy, and suddenly Gorham found himself redubbed Casey -- so as to fit the description of the boyfriend Melanie had talked about. Things got even more complicated when "Casey" saw Victoria, who he had a huge crush on because of "Edge of Tomorrow."
In the end, though, the women managed to find closure and commonality when K.C. revealed himself to be hopelessly broken and pathetic. Since leaving Joy at the altar, he'd left four other women. Including the most recent one on the night he was going to meet Joy on the roof -- the night he slept with Melanie instead. Joy got to realize that she hadn't been wrong; it was him. And Melanie got to realize ... well, that she's still not so great at picking them.
Watch "Hot in Cleveland" Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on TV Land.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – With a new cigarette tax and pressure for other revenue the president of Philadelphia's city council is still hoping to keep the schools intact.
Parents are up in arms about drastic cuts in the school budget.
The slashed budget has been passed, but Council President Darrell Clarke says he will fight till September.
"The reality is, even if we get asking for, there still needs to be an additional infusion of resources and revenue. It depends on the approach. We cannot have a situation in September where the schools are not allowed to function at any level because I believe that if we don't come up with $300-million those schools will essentially be a place where you kept the lights on, the employees come in and children don't learn," says Clarke.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) September 16, 2010
When it came time to build http://www.TimTebow.com, digital agency Purple, Rock, Scissors was the first round pick once again to partner up with XV Enterprises, LLC. For this new venture, the Orlando-based agency was recruited by Tim Tebow and his camp to develop not only the official website for the football star, but also the entire online strategy for the Tim Tebow brand.
"When it comes to doing something that is basically an extension of your brand online, you want to work with people that you trust," said Angel Gonzalez, XV Enterprises co-founder. "Those people for us are Purple, Rock, Scissors."
Purple, Rock, Scissors worked hand-in-hand with Tebow and his camp at XV Enterprises to develop TimTebow.com along with his official Facebook and Twitter pages, all to create a cohesive voice for the Tim Tebow brand in the digital space. Going for the extra point, Purple, Rock, Scissors also integrated all the social media profiles on the homepage of TimTebow.com, allowing Tim an easy portal to engage with his fans.
"To further Tim's online presence, we supported the website launch with integration of SEO, SEM, a Facebook ad campaign and links to affiliate sites such as The Denver Broncos, Nike and ESPN," said Bobby Jones, CEO and founder of Purple, Rock Scissors. "In order to sustain the heavy spikes in traffic, a scalable load-balanced environment was put in place to ensure the most exceptional user experience possible…basically when the visitors start coming, we'll be ready."
Utilizing leading analytic tracking tools to monitor Tebow's digital initiatives is a major part of the Purple, Rock, Scissors partnership with Tim Tebow. Having a client with such a dedicated and loyal following, it's important to not only monitor user interaction but also engage fans in a way that is inline with Tim Tebow and his overall brand. These tactics have shown to be successful, coming off the heels of the launch of the Tim Tebow Foundation website.
"With the success of the foundation website, Purple, Rock, Scissors was the clear choice when it came time to create my website," said Tim Tebow. "To put it simply, they just get it. They get me, they get my vision and my ideas - and they were able to work with us on making all of that a reality."
Last January, Purple, Rock Scissors launched the Tim Tebow Foundation website, TimTebowFoundation.org, amidst the hype surrounding the Focus on the Family-sponsored Super Bowl commercial. With a mix of cross-channel marketing and highly targeted grassroots initiatives, Purple, Rock, Scissors generated major awareness of the Tim Tebow Foundation in the social media space. They created official Tim Tebow Foundation Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages, along with blog outreach efforts that launched in the weeks preceding the Super Bowl.
"We have succeeded in creating a compelling digital marketing strategy that has brought the Tim Tebow Foundation's vision to life and has led to the extension of our partnership with Tim Tebow," said Jones. "We couldn't be more excited to share in Tim's vision and provide the infrastructure to exemplify his vision."

When I pondered what he felt called to do in the time immediately after the retreat, he simply said, " I need to rest."
This is sage wisdom.
You may have experienced this need yourself. Have you ever gone on a vacation only to come back feeling like you needed a vacation from your vacation?
The reason why your body needs to rest is that anytime you go on a retreat or on a vacation, you step out of your usual routine of life. You're introduced to new ways of looking at the world. This may include different living arrangements, different ways of eating, and different behaviors and perspectives from your day-to-day life.
Whether you realize it or not, every time you spend significant time away from your usual environment, you're stretched to new ways of being.
Similarly, this is what happens when you are on the path for your own spiritual growth.
You grow in your understanding of who you are and your connection with the Universe around you. You grow in your awareness of what's real and what's meaningful to you. When you begin to engage in regular spiritual practices, you find yourself in a type of spiritual workout where you are exercising your ability to tune into the Infinite.
As with any kind of workout, rest is an important component. When you work out at a gym, your muscles need time to heal and repair themselves from all the activity. In this period of rest, the muscles actually grow.
When you engage in spiritual activity, rest is vitally important.
Rest provides the time for integration and embodiment. Rest allows you the time and space to realize the insights you've gained and to gently release beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you. Rest allows you to settle into your expanded view of your life and all of Life itself.
Rest is a necessary ingredient in the growth process.
What does rest look like? Here are some different examples:
- Allowing yourself the time to sleep where you wake up renewed.
- Eating foods that provide nutrition and give you a feeling of vital energy.
- Stepping away from a situation where you feel disconnected or overwhelmed.
- Journaling your insights along your spiritual journey.
- Spending time being with someone you trust.
- Scheduling regular breaks in your schedule where you center yourself.
- Taking a walk or sitting in the beauty of nature.
- Unplugging from social media.
- Sitting in silent meditation.
There are a number of ways to rest, and sometimes all it takes is simply a few moments.
Are you feeling the need for more rest in your life? Are you interested in being more deliberate about incorporating rest into your everyday life?
If your answer is yes, here is your coaching assignment for the week:
- Looking at the list above, consider different ways that you could add more rest in your life.
- Pick one thing that you could try out this week and schedule it in your calendar.
- Let me know how this works out for you by leaving a comment below.
My offering to you here is to allow more breathing room in the go-go-go tendency of modern life. Being more deliberate in incorporating restful practices in your life is an expression of love and tenderness…for you.
Ultimately, taking time to rest is an act of loving-kindness.
Now breathe that in. Aaaahhhh. Yes, rest is available to you anytime, even in this moment.
Abundant Blessings and Namaste.
I'd love to hear how you incorporate rest in your life and if you have any challenges. Please leave a comment below. As always, I'd be happy to be of support to you in any way that I can.
And speaking of rest, I'll be holding a half-day vision board retreat in a beautiful nature setting in the San Francisco Bay Area on October 1st. Imagine being in spaciousness as you allow the vision for your life to reveal itself. If you'd like to get notified of the details and early bird pricing, click here to find out more and let me know.

More than 6,500 people from around the world have added their names to a petition calling for the release of kidnapped BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston.
A further 500 people have also posted messages of support on the BBC News website.
The petition was launched in Monday's Guardian newspaper when 300 leading figures from the journalistic community called for Johnston's immediate release.
Almost all national newspaper editors, including the Daily Mail's Paul Dacre, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger and Robert Thomson of The Times have pledged their support.
Johnston was last seen on the afternoon of 12 March 2007 and has worked in Gaza for three years. His disappearance is the longest a journalist has been held in Gaza since the recent spate of kidnappings in the region.
Two Fox News journalists kidnapped last August were released after 13 days.
The petition was opened on 2 April to anyone wishing to express their support for Johnston at: www.bbc.co.uk/haveyoursay.
Meanwhile, a senior British diplomat and BBC officials met Palestinian PM Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas and moderate President Mahmoud Abbas today to push for the release of Johnston.
The meeting between Haniyeh and British Consul General Richard Makepeace was the first face-to-face encounter between a diplomat from an EU country and a Hamas official of the Palestinians' recently-formed national unity government.
"We will not spare any effort to bring back the journalist, the friend, the human being to his family," Mr Abbas told reporters in Gaza City.
"God willing, we can have progress in the soonest possible time," Makepeace said in Arabic during a press conference with Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad.
Mr Hamad said Haniyeh briefed Mr Makepeace on Palestinian security forces' efforts to free Johnston. He said special units were leading the search.
"We prefer to deal with it peacefully without using violence, but we are discussing all the choices," Mr Hamad said. "But we really want to bring him back alive and safe and not harmed."

The Marine Nature Reserve Torre Guaceto is a protected area of coast in the east of the region of Puglia. While much of the coastline in this area has been devoted to the growing tourist trade, with restaurants and shops appearing, this little six km long haven is peaceful, unspoilt and lovely.
With its warm temperatures, the reserve harbours a range of Mediterranean micro-habitats that stretch from the clear sea, over rocky foreshore moving inland to include marshy areas and wetland; the intertidal zone is particularly important for molluscs, brown algae, sponges and sea anemones. The portion of coastline further to the north is characterised by rocky inlets with scrubland and trees and numerous gorges providing the perfect environment for octopus and sea bass. Beyond that the coast becomes sandy with dunes merging to shrubs and established olive groves. Torre Guaceto's terrestrial habitat, along with the wetland supports a range of Mediterranean ecosystem, making it high in biodiversity, supporting reptiles, mammals, birds and amphibians.
Some of the reserve is specially protected as an Area of Mediterranean Interest and therefore prohibited for human access. Of its three zones, however, two of them are accessible for visitors to explore and enjoy recreational activities. The clear waters of the Adriatic are great to swim and scuba-dive in. Alternatively you could take part in a nature walk or organised cycle route or snorkelling trips. One of the main attractions is the Torre Guaceto Beach. It is a wonderful, unspoilt beach with dunes and woods and warm, clear waters. Once you get past the slightly busier areas just past the car park, there are stretches of quiet, calm white sand to spend the day on. Remember though that this is a protected area with minimal developments and therefore limited facilities nearby. You'll need to bring all that you need with you, including beach chairs and parasols for shade!
Take a wander to the centuries-old olive groves that line the top of the reserve or follow the pathways through the vegetation and wind your way toward the sand.You'll see the Aragonese castle of Guaceto which was built in the 1500s and is situated on a headland overlooking the sea where it acted as a watch tower. It is now used by the WWF as an environmental education centre.
The main visitor centre for the reserve is in Serranova and here you will be able to find information for walks, bike rides, bike hire, excursions and even a small museum that details some of the history of the area and information on the various plant and animal species that can be found here. There is also a reasonably basic, informal restaurant at the visitor centre. Take a look at their website for more info.
Luci loves getting out and about for a good cycle ride or easy-going walks in the countryside, and thoroughly enjoyed the time she previously spent working for the National Trust. Her love of writing started from a young age and on rainy days nothing beats curling up in a secret corner with a good book.

For The Love Of Eyewear
For The Love Of Eyewear
For a long time, glasses were more of a necessity than an accessory. But with celebrities like Rashida Jones and Mindy Kaling rocking oversize frames on the reg (and fashion runways sending down armies of models in '70s-inspired eyewear ), they've become super trendy over recent years. Here, the five styles we're seeing everywhere.
Clear frames are a study in (wonderful) contradiction. They add a subtle but distinct edge to any outfit. They're slightly retro yet modern at the same time. And because they have no color to them, you can match them to anything in your wardrobe.

Health and wellness touch each of us differently. This is one person's story.
I grew up in Haiti in a big, white house, on top of a mountain overlooking the ocean — with fresh air and organic fruits at my fingertips. My childhood was nearly perfect. And Haiti was my home for nearly a decade until I was 14, when in the spring of 2004, I fell and started experiencing severe pain in my hip.
After eight months of countless doctors' visits, I was finally diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer that had metastasized to my lungs. I immediately moved to New York to start chemotherapy. After an intense year of chemo treatment, I underwent a 12-hour hip replacement surgery to remove the rest of the cancerous bone and to get a metal implant.
Unfortunately, my body rejected the implant. As a result, the doctors had to amputate my right leg, along with half my pelvic bone.
Cancer took a great toll on me, but the magnitude of how much my life changed didn't hit until they removed my bandages. I looked at what would now be my body forever. Scarred. I broke down in disbelief, barely able to look at my own body. The hip surgery involved a reconstruction of the abdomen and a muscle flap, leaving many scars.
This was the exact moment I started developing severe body image issues. My generic prosthetic leg didn't match my skin tone. It barely looked real. I'd spend my time avoiding the beach or wearing anything that would expose my scars.
But hiding wasn't a way to live
It took me a while to understand this: Body positivity doesn't mean always being in love and accepting my body. Rather, it means unlearning the idea that there is a perfect body.
If I was going to spend the rest of my life in this body — and to one day, eventually, embrace my scars — I needed to learn to tolerate them. And so began my journey as "" on Instagram, a pseudonym I began using to share my journey of self-love.
To my surprise, I found an online community who could relate to my story and experience — not only cancer survivors and fellow amputees, but others who were simply coming to terms with their bodies. At one point, I also got in touch with , a company that makes fashionable, beautiful prosthetic covers. What was once a shameful part of me became a badge of honor.
This shift in attitude affected how I acted and how others saw me. It didn't take long before I started to receive emails from all over the world, especially from others who were afraid of showing their prosthetics. In being earnest, honest, and loving toward my own body, I was able to encourage others to feel less insecure and more empowered in theirs.
Embracing my body is still a continuous journey. I'm still learning to love my 30-inch long scar and other markings. But I'm not the same girl I was when I was 16. I no longer feel disgusted looking at my scars. I now see them for what they are: proof that I survived, that I'm still here, and against all odds, won a vicious battle with cancer.
And that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Well...we've finished our deck. At least the woodworking part of it is done. Now, all I have to do is paint it and add some solar lights to the steps. Pics to come.
I finished my project for the company bathroom. I just need to get some stuff for it at the fabric store. Pics to come.
Next project will be to repair the fascia board on the house. We have a double-wide trailer. It's pretty nice. Inside, you'd never know it was a trailer as the roof is not 'cathedral' style. They are 'residential' style, which means flat. However, the Hardie Board that is on the fascia, has rotted through. It was painted and taken care of. The blasted stuff isn't any good. Water must've gotten into it and weakened the cement. It's not supposed to do that. The Hardie Board is only 10 years old! IMHO, if you're thinking of using this to side your house, think again. You may have to replace it. We have a couple of sheds and our barn sided in Hardie Board. It's OK and not rotting. The siding on the barn gets weak if it gets wet. So it's porous. The two sheds we have sided in it are OK. They have been painted with about 4 or 5 coats of oil-based paint on them. This works well. If you do go for the Hardie Board, make sure you put on a few coats of oil-based paint on it. Maybe if the span between the framing boards are closer together, you'll have good luck. That is how our sheds are built. So good luck if you use Hardie Board. Not to dis it altogether. It has good and bad qualities. For short framing spans, it seems to be good.
Take care.

I am so very sorry for your loss.
Debbie, I'm so sorry to read your story. Thank you for your final sentence as well…this website and others like it have helped me learn that I, we, are not alone at all. So many of our stories are so, so similar. So many of our thoughts and feelings are the same. My husband and my wedding colors were blue and yellow as well. I'll be thinking of your sweet Addy.

Painted Van comes to us from winery owners Walter and Sylvia Filippini. Sylvia's parents purchased this land in Paso Robles in the early '60s, and on it they cultivated agricultural crops, hay and cattle, as they had in their native Italy.
It was the next generation, in the 1980s, that began experimenting with growing Italian and French grape varietals here. And, as it turns out, they got rather good at it. There was no winery. They just grew grapes and sold them to other wineries. And as they saw the wines made from their grapes receive accolades in the press, they realized it was time to branch off on to their own.
At that time, Paso Robles was just getting started as a wine area. 1982's Paso Robles Wine Festival hosted a modest 17 wineries. My, how times have changed! Today, there are over 300 wineries here, making some of the most sought-after wines in the state. In fact, all you have to do is look at the increase in Paso Robles wines that we've featured in the Club in the last 30 years. That's no coincidence.
Our selection is a perfect amalgam of Chardonnay and Viognier. We've featured many wines with these two grapes as the sole varietal, but this is the first as a blend. It is nothing short of amazing. The two grapes pair so well together, we can't understand why it hasn't been done before. The Chardonnay contributes the lushness, the Viognier the sensual fruit. Together they present a match made in heaven, but one you can experience in your glass.

Mr. Harden is wonderful. He's very knowledgeable and patient. This is by far the best option for music lessons.
After recently moving to Charlotte I decided to take up violin lessons again, I'm a very novice beginner. Eric has been a wonderful instructor, and is enthusiastic about what he teaches. He's very good at explaining the nuances of why and how you do certain things while still helping with the "big picture". He is my third instructor and I finally feel like I'm learning a lot and learning it correctly.
Jada was on time and began the lesson promptly. She was friendly and positive about teaching my daughter.
I am negotiating with Online Stage School of Performing Arts regarding trial lesson currently.

I have know Peter for 10 years as a classical violinist and as a fiddler in a blue grass band. He is very skilled and technical in many music styles.

Because of the variety in his talents and passion, he makes an excellent teacher and offers perspective that you won't find in other teachers.
Our son has gone there for 4 years and learned so much. He has sang in the same venues as the pro's do. Plus he has gotten to play with and be mentored by 3/4 of a great rock band Killakoi. He will stay until he graduates.
